It contains several bug fixes, but also
shows the emphasize we are now putting on performance. The prebuilt release
now includes minified versions of the JavaScript (dojo modules) and CSS
files. More than that, thanks to the Dojo build system, the HTML templates
are now compiled into the JavaScript files, resulting to less requests
sent to the server. This is a great step forward!Other optimizations for minimizing the
downloads are also being worked out but they require some changes in the
core XPages runtime, so they won't be available before the next release.
Come and see us at Lotusphere for more details!

The dwa fragment had also been merged
with the domino one. It doesn't change anything from a user standpoint
but, if you're working with the source code, then you'll have to remove
this fragment from your Eclipse workspace.

Enjoy the release, have a great holidays
and merry Christmas!>>

I want to highlight one other feature
which I think is very powerful and easy to use. The Extension Library comes
with a JSON
RPC Service control. This control
allows calling from the client side JavaScript server side code without
a full page refresh. Instead the output of the server side code is returned
asynchronously. The serialization/deserialization is done internally via
JSON and hidden from the consumers.

There is a simple sample in the Extension
Library with a not that impressive user interface, but it shows the core
functionality. There are two simple methods called when pressing the buttons:

The remote methods are defined in the
JSON RPC service control and implemented as usual via server side JavaScript:

The remote functions are called from
the client side JavaScript and callbacks are used for the asynchronous
results:
